Betacraft are cheaper but just as good.
I don't get why people say that Kaiwaka and Betacraft are the same. I've got a pair of each and they are very different.
The kaiwaka are a much slimmer fit with narrower legs (despite me ordering a size too big by mistake) whereas the betacraft are much baggier and more likely to catch/snag on stuff. But even though they are baggier they are harder to get on over wellies. The betacraft material has quite a shiny finish to it and is quite stiff whereas the kaiwaka are much duller and softer however sh*t sticks to them a bit more. Also the betacraft don't have side pockets like the kaiwaka. The straps aren't as good on the betacraft, I've resorted to 2 safety pins to stop the straps continually coming loose!
Both keep me warm and dry though 👍 although if l was to buy again I'd go Kaiwaka.
